[Jamesimus]

Lati my man of the match.

A few iffy touches early on and that’s what we expect, but really brave and got his head on loads. Loads of clearances. Old skool.

Rushworth commanding and a couple of decent saves, Grimes got through lots of work, Brau looked promising, Wolfie good and calm, EMC scares defenders.

Nothing annoys me more than the sight of Haji Wright sitting on the floor looking at the ref like a kid who dropped their ice cream cone.

He got nothing today
Constantly fouled

Great result with 10 men second half. No one below a 7. They didn’t look like scoring and had it not been for the rightful sending off we win at a canter.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Why does Wright get so much stick? He was decent today and should have had a pen first half. Was always going to be a thankless task second half.

Well they gave Southampton very little in the first half as well. Not that it is relevant at all to the ratings thread based on the actual rather than hypothetical match that took place.

"Really difficult to score. Wolf and Lati did really well in the second half. But it sometimes easier when you only have to concentrate defending the 6 yard box. I'm not sure they would have scored so highly has it remained 11v11 and the game more open."

Re the above we will never know. But what we do know is Lati and Wolfenden were really solid in both halves. They also did it for a 100 minutes. You couldn't ask for more from them today..

Don't see the issue with my comments, I gave them both high scores. They played well in the match, which is what I've scored them on.

My point probably not articulated well is that we play with a really high line, and neither is blessed with pace, being so deep helped them.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Thought Dasilva was good until his red. Had a comment in draft that I never posted praising him for the way he aggressively presses his man when the balls coming into their feet - he’s won a few of them this year but unfortunately got that one wrong

Hoping Brau can step up because it’s so important we have confident ball players

Agree, I just felt it was such a big error of judgment and it turned the game completely.

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

Agreed really liked what I saw from him on the ball, decent in the air. His positional sense is why I imagine he has been left out so far.

There was one point where he was one v two, they were in if they got past and he made absolutely the right move to send them inside instead. Definitely some work been going on with him on that front.

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

Rushworth Woolf and lati all did great

Not having rudoni on a 5. He's still coming back from injury and just worked his ass off especially second half. Get off this back

Wright could have done better but were unbeaten since he came back and he could easily have had more goals or won penalties etc

Well it is his number

 

[long way home]

Agreed really liked what I saw from him on the ball, decent in the air. His positional sense is why I imagine he has been left out so far.

100% he is very good on the ball but needs to bulk up a bit and get the positional side of his game right. He may get a few games now so we will see more.

But they weren't defending deep in the first half. Also Kitching isn't blessed with pace either.

 

[fatso]

Rushworth, lati and wolf kept us in it.
Wright and rudoni poor.

Rudoni was woeful second half, looked like he had the flu bug as well.

Wright couldnt trap a bag of cement on today's showing.

Lats m.o.m closely followed by Rushworth and Woolfy.

 

[SBT]

Rushworth 8 MOTM Big save after big save

MVE 7 Looked like our biggest threat going forward in the first half
Latibeaudiere 7
Woolfenden 7
Dasilva 6 Played really well in the first half, didn’t see the red card but looked like a stupid challenge

Grimes 7
Torp 7 Wonderful assist, surprised he came off
Eccles 6

Rudoni 6 Floated around in a way that hindered us going forward, it’s ok when he’s playing as a 10 but not so much as a Tats replacement
Wright 7 Held the ball up very well
EMC 7

Bidwell 7
Brau 7 Maybe there’s something here after all but not sure how he’d do at LB
Allen 6
KKH 6
Simms 6
